Car rental near Ruby dock in Hawaii islands

[ottmar]

We will be on the Ruby in the four Hawaiian islands and friends gave us a book on what to see at each island with driving instructions so we decided to rent a car at each island for the day, the small ones rent from $ 60-75.

 

My concern is that where Ruby docks there is no rental agency, is there?

What island are you writing about?

I would also like some info for car rental in Honolulu. Heard differing remarks about renting there and would like to know more. thx

All four where the Ruby stops, Honolulu. Kauai, Hilo and Maui....

The last time (about 19 months ago) we docked in Honolulu all the car agencies had ceased their free shuttle service to the airport locations. So we simply rented from Enterprise and walked from the port to the agency (might have been about 1/2-3/4 of a mile).

I've used both Hertz and Avis on a past Hawaiian Islands cruise and both companies sent shuttles to the pier to pick us up and drop us off.

Maui has two ports - Kahului and Lahaina, on opposite sides of the island.

 

Suggest booking through Discount Hawaii Car Rental - http://www.discounthawaiicarrental.com/cruiseshipreservation.shtml

They are a broker for the major agencies in Hawaii (Avis, Budget, Alamo, etc.) - and are often recommended here. The location code and shuttle arrangements are listed for each port - just click on the port that you'll be at to see the relevant info. Then click on the 'brand' and it will take you to the rental agency's page, with the discount code included.

 

p.s. I just looked up the Ruby itinerary and I see that it's Lahaina on Maui. With an April cruise, I think the price will come down below $60-70 - if you book a cancellable reservation, you can rebook as prices drop closer to your cruise date.
